Unbelievably we have made it! A whole year since I started my diary, and I definitely didn’t expect to still be going after 365 days. But all good things must come to an end and so this will be my last entry. I’ve no idea how you are going to cope without finding out howContinue reading “DAYS 363-365 – 15-17 March 2021”

Well, we have nearly made it dear reader. As we approach the first anniversary of the first lockdown, my online diary is drawing to a close. Only 3 days left so you will get a midweek special to finish! But before we get to that, we need to get on with this penultimate entry. OfContinue reading “DAYS 356-362 – 8-14 March 2021”

First off this week, an apology if any of this diary entry doesn’t make sense. My wife and I, much like many parents around the country, have been celebrating since 3.30pm on Friday and may have slightly overindulged! There are definitely mixed emotions going on here as we are looking forward to a bit ofContinue reading “DAYS 349-355 – 1-7 March 2021”

What a gorgeous weekend. It’s hard to believe it’s still only February but perhaps the weather has decided to jump on board with Boris’s roadmap and the light is here and not just at the end of the tunnel. Only one week of home schooling left and there have been a lot of celebrations already!Continue reading “DAYS 342-348 – 22-28 February 2021”

I genuinely can’t believe that half term is over already. Once again I find myself asking how teachers do it! The prospect of another 6 weeks of home schooling is pretty daunting, and we only have one child to try and educate rather than a whole class. We will hopefully find out tomorrow what theContinue reading “DAYS 335-341 – 15-21 February 2021”

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’ve managed to tell those you love how special they are at some point today. It’s not a particularly big day in the Low household as we usually celebrate last week instead but we still raised a glass tonight. It was actually a super romantic day as we finally tookContinue reading “DAYS 328-334 – 8-14 February 2021”

This week has been a complete blur and I feel like I can’t remember most of it. To be fair that is perhaps to be expected when you try to catch up all of your drinking from January into the first week in February. Boy it’s been wild!! I’d forgotten how much easier it isContinue reading “DAYS 321-327 – 1-7 February 2021”

Well, we made it to the last day of January. And thank goodness this week is over! I don’t normally wish away my weekends but as I write my diary entry this evening I’m just hoping I can stay up to midnight so I can have a cheeky drink before bed. A completely dry month,Continue reading “DAYS 314-320 – 25-31 January 2021”

Which twisted person came up with the concept of Dry January? I mean, I understand that in other years it might be something that would benefit both body and mind, with a real sense of achievement on 1st February, but in 2021 it is just pure torture. I know it’s our own fault for agreeingContinue reading “DAYS 307-313 – 18-24 January 2021”

So, another week of lockdown successfully navigated and I’m left to sit here girding my loins ready for Blue Monday tomorrow. I can’t help but think that any previous third Monday in January has been a doddle compared to 2021. Certainly in my lifetime. This week has been the usual nonsense of world and nationalContinue reading “DAYS 300-306 – 11-17 January 2021”
